H.I.G. launches Boxengo and enters the Italian self-storage market

H.I.G. Capital, a global investment firm with $70 billion under management, announced the launch of its Italian self-storage platform following its first five acquisitions, expanding its presence beyond the UK and Germany.

Operating under the Boxengo brand, the platform will start in Milan and Rome with five facilities (four in Milan and one in Rome). The first two Milan sites will open by year-end, with the remaining three in 2026. CEO William Binella, with over 25 years of sector experience, will lead the business.

H.I.G. views self-storage as an undersupplied, operationally intensive market and aims to grow Boxengo into a leading player through high-quality assets and advanced operations.
Founded in 1993, H.I.G. invests globally across private equity, debt, real estate and infrastructure, having backed more than 400 companies worldwide.
